The Mark VII and Mark VIII are all complete air bag suspentions. I have one put almost 50,000 on it handles just as good as my stock 88 XR7 did before I changed the setup on it.

Enough to get the rear bumper above my knee. Never check the pressure though.

JCWhitney has air bag helpers that go inside your rear springs. I've been thinking about getting a set for my car because the rear suspension seems to sag with any kind of weight in the car.
